This is a great point. I don't think the hype is due to a fad alone. There are a lot of good reason why microservices are much easier to create and deploy today: containerization and the associated technology around it. This makes microservices a very natural paradigm for app deployment.
Of course, its not a holy grail. But we see that kind of thing over and over again. I think its OK; it gets developers genuinely excited to try new technology. Its only when this hype influences dangerous decisions that I'm worried about.
